REPORT  ON  THE  SEA-OTTER  BANKS  OF  ALASKA. 


I 


Head-quarters  Bering  Sea  Fleet, 

Unalaska,  Alaska, 

September  15,  1897. 
Sir:  I  liave  the  honor  to  submit,  for  your  information  and  considera- 
tion, the  following  report  on  the  Sea-Otter  Banks  of  Alaska: 

,,  ,  ^         _    early  sea-otter  hunting. 

When  the  Russians  first  visited  Alaska,  its  waters  abounded  in  sea 
otter,  and  the  early  voyagers  reaped  a  rich  harvest,  hunting  them  with- 
out restraint.  As  a  result,  after  more  than  fifty  years,  toward  the 
close  of  the  eighteenth  century,  a  marked  decrease  was  noticeable. 

The  otter,  which  at  the  time  of  the  discovery  of  the  Pribilof  Islands, 
1780,  were  said  to  have  "swarmed  the  shores  of  St.  George,"  had 
almost  entirely  disappeared,  and  at  many  other  places  there  had  been 
a  decided  falling  off  in  their  numbers. 

RUSSIAN-AMERICAN   COMPANY. 

'  About  the  close  of  the  century  the  Russian- American  Company  was 
organized  and  duly  chartered  by  the  Czar  for  a  term  of  twentj'  years. 
Tills  company,  which  in  1820  had  its  charter  renewed,  had  been  granted 
new  privileges,  and  was  practically  iu  control  of  the  Territory,  and 
exercised,  to  some  extent,  a  supervision  over  the  hunters  and  placed 
restrictions  on  the  number  of  sea  otter  to  be  taken.  The  demands  of 
the  market  were  considered  and  the  catch  apportioned  to  the  different 
districts  with  reference  to  the  number  of  hunters,  etc.  The  natives 
were  held  strictly  to  the  number  allotted,  and  any  otter  killed  in  excess 
were  carried  over  until  the  next  year.  They  also  laid  down  certain 
rules  for  the  hunters  to  avoid  disturbing  the  otter,  lest  they  should  be 
driven  away. 

At  that  time  the  otter  hauled  out  upon  the  land  to  feed  on  the  sea 
urchins  and  other  shellfish  exposed  at  low  water,  to  sleep  and  rest,  and 
give  birth  to  their  young,  and  were  taken  in  nets  and  killed  by  clubbing. 
The  females  were  spared,  and  one  of  the  first  lessons  taught  the  young 
hunter  after  he  had  learned  to  manage  the  kyak  and  to  throw  the  spear 
was  how  to  distinguish  the  female  from  the  male  animal  in  the  water, 
by  the  color  and  shape  of  its  head  and  neck,  which,  unlike  the  fur  seal, 
differ  sufficiently  to  clearly  mark  the  sexes.  When  hunting  upon  the 
—  3 


4  SEA-OTTER   BANKS   OF   ALASKA. 

sliorea,  care  was  taken  by  tlie  Luiiters  to  avoid  any  noise  or  disturbance, 
or  leaving  any  mark  or  sign  by  whicli  their  presence  might  become 
known  to  the  otter,  which  are  exceedingly  timid  and  suspicions  and 
easily  driven  away  from  a  locality  if  disturbed.  The  sea  otter  is  very 
unlike  that  most  stupid  of  all  animals,  the  fur  seal,  which,  commencing 
as  a  yearling,  makes  periodical  trips  to  the  killing  grtmnds  with  the 
"drive,"  crawling  over  the  bones  of  many  generations  of  its  ancestors, 
and  nearly  smothered  in  the  high  grass  fertilized  by  their  decaying 
bodies,  presents  itself  for  inspection  year  after  year  until  of  suitable  age 
to  be  killed,  when,  surrounded  by  its  dead  companions,  it  takes  the 
desired  position  and  cranes  its  neck  forward  to  meet  the  deadly  club, 
which,  with  one  blow  on  its  tender  skull,  makes  this  trip  to  the  killing 
ground  its  last. 

Boots  with  iron  nails  were  prohibited,  and  flres  were  built  away  from 
the  hauling  grounds  and  lighted  only  when  the  wind  was  from  the  sea 
to  carry  the  smoke  inland.  No  guns  were  used,  only  the  noiseless  but 
equally  deadly  spear. 

DECREASE  OF   SEA   OTTEE. 


In  spite  of  all  the  precautions  taken  the  sea  otter  appear  to  have 
decreased  from  year  to  year,  and  in  some  parts,  notably  the  Pribilof 
Islands,  to  have  entirely  disappeared  before  Alaska  came  under  the 
American  flag.  After  the  transfer,  although  the  same  rigid  rules  could 
not  be  enforced,  the  efl'ects  of  them  were  felt  for  some  years.  From 
habit  many  of  the  native  hunters  continued  to  spare  the  female,  but 
gradually  all  precautions  came  to  be  ignored.  Hunting  schooners 
came  yearly  to  the  otter  banks;  cod  fisheries  were  established  in  the 
immediate  vicinity  of  them,  and  theoflfal  lined  the  shores  and  tilled  the 
water.  One  of  the  best  otter  grounds  in  Alaska,  the  Sannak  Iteefs, 
is  said  to  have  been  greatly  injured  by  the  cod  fisheries  established 
there. 

On  account  of  the  vast  extent  of  country  and  the  limited  force  at  its 
command,  the  Government  has  not  enforced  the  law  prohibiting  white 
men  from  killing  fur-bearing  animals  in  Alaska,  and  the  sea  otter,  being 
the  most  valuable,  has  received  its  full  share  of  attention.  Being  con- 
stantly harassed,  clubbed  and  shot  on  shore,  caught  in  nets  by  white 
men,  their  hauling  grounds  made  uninhabitable  by  the  camp  flres  of 
the  hunters  and  defiled  by  fisheries  and  the  decaying  bodies  of  their 
slaughtered  companions,  the  sea  otter  of  the  Aleutian  Islands  has  not 
only  decreased  in  numbers,  but  has  actually  changed  its  h.abits.  It  no 
longer  comes  out  upon  the  land  to  feed,  rest,  or  give  birth  to  its  yonug. 
A  floating  raf*}  of  kelp  serves  as  its  only  resting  place,  and  banks  of 
30  fathoms  of  water  are  its  feeding  grounds.  Even  there  it  is  hunted 
and  liarassed  by  hunting  schooners  from  March  until  August.  Having 
been  driven  from  the  shore  it  is  being  exterminated  on  the  sea  by  a  fleet 
of  hunting  schooners,  and  the  native  hunters  of  the  Aleutian  Islands 


SEA-OTTER    HANK8    OF    ALASKA.  5 

are  being  deprived  of  their  chief  means  of  subaistenee.  In  addition  to 
its  cliaiifie  of  habits  and  decrease  in  numbers,  the  range  of  the  otter  is 
very  much  reduced. 

The  otter  grounds  west  of  TTnimak  Pass  are  j  tactically  abandoned. 
On  some  banks  stray  individuals  are  still  taken  at  long  intervals,  while 
on  others,  not  an  otter  has  been  taken  during  the  last  decatle. 

No  reliable  record  of  the  catch  of  sea  otter  i)rior  to  1H73  is  obtain- 
able and  the  record  since  that  <late  is  only  approximate,  including  those 
only  that  were  bought  by  the  Alaska  Commercial  Oomi)any,  which  were, 
however,  a  majority  of  all  taken  in  these  waters  in  actual  numbers, 
and  the  change  from  year  to  vear  maybe  taken  as  proportionate  to  the 
changes  which  took  place  in  the  entire  herd. 

The  accompanying  tabular  statenient,  for  which  T  am  indebted  to  the 
courtesy  of  the  Alaska  Commercial  Comjjany,  shows  the  number  of 
otter  purchfised  by  that  company  from  1873  to  1897,  both  inclusive.  In 
1883  the  North  American  Fur  and  'xiading  Company,  which  prior  to 
that  time  had  been  trading  in  furs,  with  headquarters  at  Unalaska, 
sold  out  its  interests  to  the  Alaska  Commercial  Company,  and  with 
them  its  stock  of  sea  otter  purchased  that  year,  4(50  in  all.  Supposing, 
in  the  absence  of  a  better  guide,  that  this  number  represents  a  fair 
average  of  yearly  purchase  of  sea  otter  by  the  North  American  Fur 
and  Trading  Company  for  the  ten  years  from  1873  to  1883,  we  can 
increase  the  yearly  totals  that  amount.  This  does  not  include  otter 
taken  by  schooners  and  not  sold  to  the  companies  named. 

SEA-OTTER  BANKS. 

The  sea-otter  grounds  under  consideration,  for  convenience  sake, 
maybe  divided  into  districts,  as  follows:  Beginning  at  the  extreme 
west,  Attn,  Atka,  (Jmtiak,  TJnalaska,  Akutau,  Saunak,  Morzuovoi, 
Belkofski,  Unga,  and  Kadiak.  , 

ATTU. 


The  Attn  grounds  included  Attu  and  Agattu,  and  were  hunted  by 
the  Attu  natives  with  kyak  and  spear.  The  other  island  named  did 
not  contain  permanent  inhabitants,  but  hunting  parties  crossed  over 
from  Attu  in  large  skin  boats  during  the  oifshore  hunting  season, 
from  June  to  August,  inclusive.  The  stormy  condition  of  the  sea  pre- 
vented them  venturing  far  from  the  shore  in  their  frail  boats  at  other 
seasons.  The  Attu  otter  grounds  were  on  the  south  or  Pacific  side 
of  the  islands,  and  extended  not  more  than  6  miles  from  the  shore. 
Otter  have  almost  entirely  disappeared  from  these  grounds.  Since 
1882  only  an  occasional  one  has  been  taken,  although  periodic  hunting 
trips  are  still  made.  A  native  hunting  party  in  the  American  schooner 
Challenffe  in  July,  1896,  cruised  over  these  grounds  for  eighteen  days, 
with  fine  weather,  without  seeing  one  sea  otter.

8EA-0TTER    BANKS   OF   ALASKA. 


ATKA. 

The  Atka  grounds  extend  from  and  inclu  '  Buldir  Island  on  the 
west  to  Four  Mountains  on  the  east.  Tliis  grouiul  is  cininied  and 
hunted  by  the  Atka  natives,  who  live  at  Kazan  Bay,  on  the  east  end  of 
the  island,  the  only  permanent  settlement  between  Attn  and  Umnak 
since  the  abandonment,  many  years  ago,  of  Korovin,  a  small  settle- 
ment on  the  north  side  of  the  same  island. 

The  conditions  of  "native  hunting  on  the  Atka  grounds  were  almost 
identical  with  those  at  Attn.  Tlie  manner  of  hunting,  distance  from 
the  shore,  duration  of  the  ott'shore  hujting  season,  means  of  getting 
from  island  to  island,  the  use  of  the  kyak  and  spear,  and  all  smaller 
details  were  the  same.  This  was  a  large  district  and  the  otter  banks 
far  apart,  and  the  diffl<;n!tie.s  and  dangers  to  be  met  and  overcome  in 
going  from  one  to  the  other  in  op«n  skin  boats  can  only  be  appreciated 
by  one  who  has  experienced  the  dangerous  tide  races  and  overfalls 
that  are  to  be  encountered  there,  even  in  moderate  weather,  which  try 
the  seagoin;  qualities  of  small  vesf^els.  In  many  parts  of  this  district 
the  sea  otter  is  entirely  extinct.  None  have  been  taken  from  the 
Buldir  Island  banks  since  1874.  Occasional  otter  are  found  in  what 
is  known  locally  as  Shut  in  Strait  (Tanega  Pass).  Kiska  and  Amchitka, 
favorite  hunting  grounds  of  former  times,  are  entirely  abandoned;  so 
also  Seguam,  Yunaska,  and  Amukta  and  the  islands  of  Four  Mountains. 

UMNAK. 

The  sea-otter  grounds  of  the  Umnak  district  were  confined  to  the 
banks  adjacent  to  this  one  island.  Like  those  of  Attn  and  Atka,  the 
Umnak  banks  were  on  the  Pacific  side  of  the  island,  but  extended 
somewhat  farther  oft"  shore.  These  banks  were  hunted  by  the  inhabit- 
ants of  Nikolski,  the  only  permanent  settlement  on  the  island,  but 
are  now  entirely  abandoned.  For  a  number  of  years,  owing  to  the 
great  decrease  of  otter  on  the  Umnak  grounds,  the  people  were  very 
poor  and  deeply  in  debt,  their  on]y  income  being  the  few  foxes  they 
were  able  to  catch,  scarcely  enough  to  supply  them  with  tea  and  sugar. 
For  the  past  four  years  they  have  been  taken  to  the  Kadiak  banks  in 
the  schooner  Everett  Hays,  of  Unalaska,  and  have  done  fairly  well, 
being  able  to  furnish  themselves  and  families  with  the  necessaries  of 
life,  besides  paying  ott'  a  portion  of  their  debts. 

UNALASKA. 

The  hunting  ground  of  the  Unalaska  division  is  on  the  south  or 
Pacific  side  of  the  island,  and  extends  its  entire  length.  It  is  hunted 
by  the  natives  of  each  of  the  five  settlements  on  the  island — Biorka, 
Chernofski,  Kashega,  Makushin,  and  Unalaska  (Iliuliuk). 

The  men  use  both  gun  and  spear  in  hunting  otter,  and  extend  their 
hunting  farther  off  shore;  otherwise  the  conditions  are  the  same  as  at 


the

the  other  divisions  referred  to.  But  few  ottor  have  been  found  on  the 
UnalaKskti  banku  for  several  years,  by  far  the  larger  part  of  those 
credited  to  Ui.alaska  in  the  tabulated  statement  having  been  taken  by 
Unalaska  hunters  on  the  Kadiak  grounds. 

AKUTAN. 

The  Akutan  division  includes  tlie  banks  south  of  Akutan,  Avatanak, 
and  Tigalda.  These  were  claimed  and  hunted  by  the  natives  of  Akutan 
Harbor,  the  only  permanent  habitation  in  this  group.  Here,  also,  the 
hunters  used  both  gun  and  spear.  Tm  otter  of  this  division  are  prac- 
tiijally  extinct.  For  the  past  ten  ytiiia  the  annual  catch  has  not

The  3ann<ak  district,  which  include"  tlic  reef  and  banks  lying  oflF  the 
Sannak  Islands,  was  claimed  and  hunted  by  the  Belkofski  natives  and 
a  few  living  on  Sannak.  For  many  years  hunting  partie^^  from  Akutan 
and  Unalaska  Island,  and  even  from  the  divisions  farther  west,  have  been 
carried  in  schooners  each  year  to  these  banks  and  taken  away  again 
at  the  end  of  the  hunting  season.  Some  parties  have  been  left  there 
during  the  winter,  comfortable  houses  having  been  built  for  their  accom- 
modation. The  otter  are  now  nearly  extinct  on  the  Sannak  grounds, 
the  greater  part  of  those  credited  to  this  district  since  1890  having 
been  taken  on  the  Kadiak  grounds. 

Vessels  fitted  out  for  hunting  on  the  Sannak  grounds,  failing  to  find 
otter  there,  extend  their  cruising  to  the  Kadiak  grounds,  but  keep  no 
separate  account  of  the  catch,  and  it  is  all  credited  to  the  ground  for 
which  the  vessel  sailed  originally.  The  few  taken  from  this  ground  are 
taken  by  schooners  well  off  shore. 

MORZHOYOI. 

This  district  was  hunted  by  the  inhabitants  of  the  settlement  of  that 
name  in  Isanotski  Strait  or  False  Pass.  The  hunting  ground  embraces 
the  banks  and  reefs  in  the  vicinity  of  the  pass  on  the  Pacific  side,  the 
pass  itself  in  which  during  Russian  times  many  thousands  were  taken, 
and  the  banks  in  Bering  Sea  between  Cape  Lapin,  Unimak  Island,  on 
the  southwest,  and  Amak  Island  on  the  northeast.  For  many  years 
the  Morzhovoi  natives  have  used  both  gun  and  spear.  This  ground  is 
nearly  hunted  out,  and  a  large  part  of  the  skins  credited  to  it  during 
the  past  ten  years  were  taken  on  the  Kadiak  grounds  by  Morzhovoi 
hunters. 

BELKOFSKI. 

This  district  includes  Belkofski  and  Wosnessenski  and  the  outlying 
reefs  and  banks.  The  district  was  hunted  by  natives  of  both  islands, 
the  guu  and  spear  being  used.    This  was  one  of  the  richest  districts,

and  prior  to  1888  produced  annually  upward  of  700  skins.  Since  that 
date  the  number  has  fallen  off  gradually  until,  in  1896,  but  16  were 
taken  by  the  natives  of  both  settlements. 

tTNGA. 

The  Unga  district  includes  all  the  banks  and  reefs  lying  off  the  outer 
Shumagin  Islands.  These  grounds  were  hunted  by  the  inhabitants  of 
Delarof  Harbor,  Unga  Island;  Koroviu,  a  small  settlement  on  the 
island  of  that  name,  and  Simeonofski.  They  used  guns  and  spears. 
This  district  formerly  produced  from  300  to  400  otter  each  year.  In 
1896  but  22  were  taken. 

KADIAK. 

The  Kadiak  district  includes  the  banks  in  the  vicinity  of  the  island, 
also  Cook  Inlet  and  Shelikof  Strait.  In  the  latter  places  but  few 
remain. 

PRESENT  OTTER  GROUNDS. 

A  majority  of  all  the  sea  otter  taken  at  the  present  day  throughout 
the  Aleutian  Islands  are  taken  on  the  banks  to  the  southwest  of  Kadiak. 
The  banks  are  bounded  on  the  northwest  by  the  Alaska  Peninsula,  on 
the  northeast  by  Kadiak  Islands,  southeast  by  the  Trinity  Islands  and 
Chirikof,  and  on  the  southwest  by  the  Semedi  Islands.  It  will  be  seen 
that  the  decrease  of  the  otter  has  been  general  and  is  not  confined  to 
any  particular  locality.  Neither  does  it  appear  that  any  particular  style 
of  hunting  is  more  destructive  than  the  rest. 

In  the  western  districts,  Attn  and  Atka,  where  only  the  spear  was 
used,  the  decrease  has  been  quite  as  marked  as  in  the  casLcrn  districts, 
where  the  gun  has  been  used  almost  exclusively.  The  gun,  while  not 
more  destructive  than  the  spear,  is  perhaps  more  wasteful,  as  by  its  use 
some  are  probably  wounded  but  escape  capture  and  die,  while  of  those 
struck  by  the  spear  but  few  if  any  are  lost. 


NETTING   SEA  OTTER. 

Netting  is  also  a  wasteful  method  of  taking  otter.  Unless  the  ani- 
mals caught  are  taken  out  of  the  not  within  a  few  hours  aft«ir  death, 
the  carcass  is  attacked  by  millions  of  minute  animals  (small  amphipod 
crustaceans)  that  infest  these  waters,  and  in  a  little  while  the  pelt  is 
rendered  worthless.  Netting  is  done  during  the  stormy  weather.  The 
net  is  stretched  from  the  shore  to  a  convenient  outlying  rock.  Cold, 
hard  storms  prevail,  which  frequently  prevent  the  nets  being  visited 
for  days  at  a  time,  and  in  the  past  many  valuable  skins  have  been  lost 
in  this  way.  Netting  is  not  general  at  the  present  time,  but  is  i)racticed 
to  some  extent  by  white  men  who  inhabit  the  small  outer  islands  of  the 
Sannak  and  Shumagin  groups  and  at  other  points.

IMPOBTANCK  OF  THK  SEA  OTTER  TO  THE  ALEUTS. 

The  sea  otter  has  been,  since  the  first  advent  of  tlie  Russians,  the 
principal  means  of  support  of  tlie  natives  of  the  Aleutian  Islands. 
The  decrease  in  the  yearly  catch  has  already  brought  some  of  the  set- 
tlements to  a  state  of  want,  and  if  they  are  allowed  to  become  exter- 
minated, actual  suttering  and  even  starvation  can  only  be  averted  by 
Uovernment  aid.  Properly  protected  and  reserved  exclusively  for  the 
use  of  the  natives,  the  otter,  while  it  can  pnibably  never  be  brouj^ht  up 
to  its  former  numbers,  can  be  preserved  fiom  extermination  and  will 
furnish  a  means  of  subsistence  for  these  people  for  many  years. 

WHITE   HUNTERS. 

In  former  references  to  this  subject  I  have  urged  upon  the  Govern- 
ment the  justice  of  allowing  the  white  men  married  to  native  women 
and  actually  settled  within  the  Territory  to  take  sea  otter  by  means  of 
the  net.  This  necessity  no  longer  exists.  The  opening  of  mines  aiul 
canneries  in  various  parts  of  Alaska  will  furnish  en»ployment  for  all 
such,  and  in  time  no  doubt  the  natives  in  the  vicinity  may  be  made  use- 
ful in  the  same  way;  but  a  large  majority  of  the  latter  are  isolated, 
many  hundreds  of  miles  awaj',  and  in  numbers  far  in  excess  of  the  pres- 
ent needs  of  the  mines  and  canneries. 

Inclosed  and  forming  a  part  of  this  report  is  a  statement  of  the  num- 
ber of  natives  at  the  ditferent  Aleutian  settlements  at  the  present  time, 
obtained  by  actual  count  and  from  the  records  of  the  Greek  Church, 
for  which  I  am  under  obligation  to  the  resident  Russian  priest,  Rev. 
A.  Kedrofsky. 

There  are  in  all  sixteen  native  settlements,  and  an  aggregate  of 
1,105  native  inhabitants. 


RESOURCES   OF   THE  ALEUTIAN  ISLANDS. 

The  resources  of  these  islands  maybe  stated  as  follows:  Attn,  in 
addition  to  an  occasional  otter,  produces  a  limited  number  of  blue 
foxes,  but  they  are  inferior  in  quality  to  tho..e  taken  on  the  Pribilof 
Islajids,  and  do  not  bring  so  high  a  price.  The  catch  is  yearly  getting 
smaller.  Some  of  the  islands  in  the  Atka  district  still  furnish  a 
few  fox  skins  of  different  varieties.  From  Kanaga  a  few  red  and 
cross  foxes  are  obtained.  Adakh  formerly  produced  many  silver  foxes, 
but  has  only  a  very  few  left.  Grejit  Sitchin  Island  produces  a  few  red 
foxes  only.  Atka  has  only  a  few  blue  foxes  of  the  same  grade  as  those 
caught  at  Attn.  Andia  has  silver  foxes,  but  they  are  almost  extinct, 
oidy  an  occasional  one  being  taken.  Umnak  and  Unalaska  disticts 
produce  a  few  red  and  cross  foxes  and  an  occasional  silver  fox.  The 
islands  in  the  Akutan  district  also  produce  red  and  cross  foxes  and  an 
occasional  silver  fox.

ALASKA  COMMERCIAL   COMPANY. 

From  the  organization  of  the  Alaska  Commercial  Company  in  1869 
to  the  present  time  a  large  part  of  the  furs  taken  by  the  Aleut  hunters 
were  purchased  by  its  agents,  stores  being  maintained  for  the  purpose 
of  trading  at  each  of  the  native  settlements.  Owing  to  the  falling  otf 
in  the  yield  of  furs  many  of  these  trading  stations  have  been  conducted 
at  a  loss  for  several  years,  and  to  avoid  a  continuation  of  these  losses 
are  being  abandoned.  In  a  few  cases  the  station  agents,  men  who  are 
married  to  native  women,  and  who,  if  not  hunters  themselves,  accom- 
pany the  native  hunting  parties,  have  bought  out  the  company's  interest, 
and  will,  as  a  forlorn  hope,  still  try  to  eke  out  a  living.  At  other  places 
the  stores  are  closed  and  all  supplies  taken  away.  A  man  named  Dirks, 
for  many  years  company's  ageut  at  Atka,  purchased  its  interests  at 
Atka  and  Attn.  He  also  bought  a  small  vessel,  and  so  long  as  he  can 
make  it  pay  ^ill  keep  a  small  supply  of  necessary  stores  at  these  places. 
Umnak  and  four  of  the  Ave  settlements  on  Unalaska  Island — Chernof- 
ski,  Kashega,  Makushin,  and  Biorka — have  been  abandoned,  as  have 
Akutan,  iSannak,  Morzhovoi,  Wosnessenski,  and  Belkofski. 

HUNTING  FROM  SCHOONERS. 

After  the  disappearance  of  the  otterfrom  the  western  huntinggrounds 
it  became  necessary  to  transport  hunting  parties  in  schooners  to  the 
Sannak  and  Kadiak  grounds.  At  first  the  parties  with  their  outfits  of 
bidarkas,  guns,  spears,  tents,  cooking  utensils,  etc.,  were  taken  by  the 
vessel  to  some  convenient  point  and  landed,  and  hunted  from  the  shore, 
living  in  tents.  Of  late  years  the  hunting  parties  have  remained  on 
board  the  vessels  and  hunted  from  them.  The  vessels  cruise  over  the 
hunting  grounds,  keeping  a  sharp  lookout  until  otter  are  seen,  when,  if 
the  weather  is  suitable,  the  bidarkas  are  put  over  and  the  chase  begins. 

The  bidarkas  keeping  well  together  soon  get  the  otter  surrounded, 
tire  it  out,  and  capture  it  without  difficulty.  Sea  otter  frequently  travel 
in  herds;  sometimes  20  or  30  are  seen  at  the  same  time.  If  the  weather 
is  favorable  and  the  hunters  work  well  together  a  fair  percentage  of 
all  seen  are  taken. 

Although  all  are  hunting  together,  the  otter  belongs  to  the  hunter 
who  kills  it,  and  strange  as  it  may  seem  there  is  seldom  a  question  as 
to  ownership.  If  an  otter  is  shot  in  such  a  way  as  to  make  it  impossi- 
ble to  determine  its  rightful  owner  the  matter  is  settled  by  giving  the 
pelt  to  the  church.  In  Bussian  times,  when  only  the  spears  were  used, 
each  hunter  had  his  mark,  and  the  spear  nearest  the  nose  of  the  animal 
owned  it.  Tbis  was  to  induce  the  hunters  to  throw  their  spears  at  the 
head  to  avoid  injuring  the  pelt. 

In  August  the  schooners  return  and  a  settlement  is  had.  For  its 
share  of  the  work  the  schooner  takes  one-third  of  the  otter  caught,  and 
the  rest  belong  to  the  hunters.

As  stated,  a  majority  of  all  pelts  taken  by  the  Aleutian  hunters  are 
sold  to  the  Alaska  Commercial  Company,  whose  method  of  dealing 
with  the  natives  is  particularly  simple  and  fair.  Immediately  after  the 
return  of  the  hunting  parties  all  the  hunters  meet,  accompanied  by  the 
chief,  and  the  furs  are  brought  out  for  inspection  and  appraisement  by 
the  company's  agent.  Those  belonging  to  each  hunter  are  examined 
separately,  each  fur  is  appraised  and  the  price  offered  is  announced  in 
EuHsian  and  repeated  in  Aleut  in  a  tone  loud  and  clear  enough  for  all 
to  understand.  Each  hunter  is  furnished  with  a  book  in  which  the 
value  of  his  catch  is  entered.  From  this  is  deducted  the  amount  of  his 
indebtedness  to  the  comjiany,  and  the  balance  is  paid  in  coin  or  placed 
to  his  credit  as  he  may  elect.  After  settling  up,  the  work  of  buying  a 
winter  outfit  begins.  With  those  who  have  money  this  is  a  simple  cash 
transaction;  gold  is  converted  into  silver  and  each  article  required  is 
bought  and  paid  for  separately.  To  the  hunter  who  has  caught  noth- 
ing, and  in  consequence  has  no  money,  a  winter's  supply  is  given  on 
credit.  I  am  informed,  however,  that  in  future  the  Alaska  Commercial 
Company  will  discontinue  the  credit  system  and  do  only  a  cash  busi- 
ness, to  guard  against  loss.  The  system  practice*  has  been  so  simple 
and  plain  that  even  the  Aleut  had  no  difficulty  in  understandir^  it.  and 
no  differences  arose. 

After  buying  their  winter  outfit,  the  hunters  and  their  purchases  are 
taken  on  board  the  schooner  in  which  they  have  been  hunting  and  given 
free  transportation  to  their  homes. 

CONCLUSIONS. 


By  the  foregoing  statements  and  annexed  tables  it  will  be  seen :  First, 
that  the  annual  catch  of  sea  otter  has  been  steadily  and  rapidly  decreas- 
ing for  the  past  ten  years,  the  number  killed  yearly  being  apparently 
greater  than  the  natural  increase.  Second,  that  the  sea  otter  has  not 
only  decreased  in  numbers,  but  that  it  has  actually  changed  its  habits 
and  is  no  longer  found  on  or  near  khe  shore;  further,  that  the  sea  otter 
grounds  are  very  much  reduced  in  area.  Third,  that  about  1,165  natives 
of  the  Aleutian  Islands  are  almost  wholly  dependent  upon  the  sea  otter 
for  the  necessaries  of  life  and  will  be  left  destitute  if  the  animal  is 
exterminated.  Fourth,  that  on  account  of  the  decreased  area  of  the 
hunting  grounds  and  the  disappearance  of  the  otter  from  the  western 
Aleutian  Islands,  a  large  number  of  the  natives  are  isolated  and  can 
only  reach  the  hunting  grounds  by  the  aid  of  schooners.  Fifth,  by  the 
withdrawal  of  the  Alaska  Commercial  Company's  stores  from  the  differ- 
ent settlements  the  natives  are  left  dependent  upon  Unalaska  for  the 
necessaries  of  life,  and  communication  between  this  and  the  other  settle- 
ments can  only  be  accomplished  by  vessel.  The  present  generation  has 
r  t  the  art  of  building  seagoing  bidarras.  Sea  lion,  from  the  skin  of 
Aviiich  the  covering  is  made,  have  also  decreased  until  there  are  only 
enough  left  to  make  the  small  bidarkas,  and  in  any  event  the  schooner

is  more  comfortable,  safer,  faster,  and  made  use  of  in  a  proper  manner 
will  not  be  detrimental  to  tlie  sea  otter  herd.  Sixth,  it  does  not  appear 
that  the  use  of  firearms,  although  perhaps  more  wasteful,  is  more 
destrucitive  to  the  herd  than  spears.  The  banks  of  the  Attn  district, 
where  the  spear  was  used  exclusively,  were  the  first  to  be  abandoned 
by  the  otter. 

In  the  preparation  of  regulations  .or  the  taking  of  sea  otter  these 
facts  must  be  considered :  It  is  not  only  necessary  to  preserve  the  otter, 
the  most  beautiful  and  valuable  fur-bearing  animal  in  the  world,  but 
to  preserve  it  for  the  benetit  of  the  natives  who  have  been  dependent 
upon  it  for  more  than  a  century,  and  who  will  be  reduced  to  suffering 
and  want  without  it. 

In  the  preparation  of  regulations  another  point  arises :  Are  the  pres- 
ent sea-otter  banks  wholly  within  the  territorial  waters  of  the  United 
States?  If  so,  no  international  agreement  to  the  regulations  is  neces- 
sary, as  was  the  case  with  the  fur  seal.  lu  the  light  of  what  knowledge 
I  have  upon  the  subject,  I  believe  that  the  principal  parts  of  the  pres- 
ent sea-otter  hunting  ground  are  wholly  within  the  territorial  waters  ot 
the  United  States. 

As  shown,  the  place  where  sea  otter  are  hunted  at  present  is  to  the 
southwest  of  Kadiak,  on  what  is  known  as  the  Kadiak  ground.  A 
reference  to  the  accompanying  chart  will  show  this  body  of  water  to 
be  a  large  bay,  a  continuation  of  Shelikof  Strait,  entirely  surrounded 
by  land  on  three  sides,  and  nearly  so  on  the  fourth,  all  of  which  land 
is  United  States  territory.  This  bay  has  always  been  considered  as 
territorial  waters,  and,  so  far  as  I  know,  no  foreign  vessel  has  ever 
hunted  therein.  In  1892  Hon.  Warren  Truitt,  United  S*^^ates  district 
judge  for  the  District  of  Alaska,  decided  that  this  was  United  States 
territorial  waters  and  promptly  condemned  two  sea-otter  hunting 
vessels,  the  schooners  St.  Paul  and  Alexander,  seized  therein  by  the 
revenue  steamer  Corwin,  for  hunting  sea  otter  nth  white  hunters,  in 
violation  of  article  1956,  Revised  Statutes.  The  vieiy  taken  by  Judge 
Truitt  should  be  formally  adopted  by  the  Government  of  the  United 
States. 

Under  almost  precisely  similar  conditions,  I  am  informed  that  the 
Canadian  Government  claims  Hecate  Strait,  inside  of  Queen  Charlotte 
Island,  a  much  larger  bay,  as  territorial  waters,  and  American  halibut 
fishermen  are  being  warned  away  from  there  by  the  Dominion  revenue 
cutter  Quadra. 

If  this  bay  in  which  the  otter  are  found  derives  a  national  character 
from  the  land  by  which  it  is  surrounded,  and  the  line  representing  the 
limit  of  United  States  jurisdiction  passes  3  miles  outside  of  Kodiak, 
Trinity  Islands,  and  Chirikof,  suitable  legulations  by  the  United  States 
Government,  properly  enforced,  will  furnish  ampler  protection  for  the 
sea  otter,  as  not  enough  can  be  taken  outside  of  these  limits  to  encour- 
age hunting  to  any  extent.

There  are  at  the  present  time  no  British  or  other  foreign  vessels 
engaged  in  liunting  sea  otter  in  these  waters,  and  it  does  not  appear 
that  any  have  done  so  in  the  past.  Since  this  is  a  fact,  and  the  decrease 
of  sea  otter  is  due  to  overkilling  by  our  own  people,  it  does  not  appear 
that  there  is  any  nec^essity  for  an  international  agreement,  or  grounds 
upon  which  to  ask  it.  If  foreign  vessels  were  not  attracted  in  former 
times,  they  are  not  likely  to  be  now  that  the  sea-otter  herd  is  reduced 
to  barely  one  tenth  its  former  numbers,  and  when  not  one  of  the  Ameri- 
can schooners  engaged  in  it  is  paying  expenses. 

If  an  international  agreement  should  be  deemed  necessary,  a  fifteen- 
mile  limit,  as  shown  on  the  chart  transmitted  herewith  and  forming  a  part 
of  this  report,  would  afford  ample  protection  and  should  be  adopted, 
although  this  is  not  recommended  except  as  a  last  resort,  and  in  that 
event  an  exception  should  be  made  in  favor  of  the  Aleuts  hunting  from 
the  shore  in  their  native  canoes  (bidarkas),  as  is  done  in  the  fur-seal 
regulations,  article  9,  section  6,  Bering  Sea  Award,  in  favor  of  the 
Indian  hunters  farther  south;  otherwise  one  of  the  prime  objects  of  the 
preservation  of  the  sea  otter  will  be  defeated. 

The  article  quoted  i^ermits  the  Indian  hunters  of  the  west  coast  of 
the  United  States  and  British  Columbia  to  hunt  seals  from  the  shore 
in  their  native  canoes  at  all  seasons,  but  unjustly  and  without  apparent 
cause  discriminates  against  the  Aleut  and  forbids  him  to  hunt,  them  at 
any  time.  To  fully  appreciate  the  injustice  of  this  ruling,  it  must  be 
known  that  the  Aleuts  use  the  flesh  of  the  fur  seal  as  an  article  of  food 
and  prize  it  highly,  while  the  Indians  referred  to  do  not  eat  it.  The 
amount  of  seal  meat  thrown  away  by  these  Indian  hunters  each  year 
would  go  far  toward  furnishing  the  Aleuts  with  a  much  needed  supply 
of  fresh  meat. 

Herewith  are  appended  a  set  of  regulations  suggested  for  the  gov- 
ernment of  sea-otter  hunting  for  the  season  of  1898.  As  will  be  seen, 
these  regulations  are  intended  to  preserve  the  remaining  sea  otter  for 
the  use  of  the  Aleut  hunters  and  their  families,  in  accordance  with  the 
spirit  of  article  195G,  Revised  Statutes.  It  is  believed  that  this  can  be 
attained  only  by  prohibiting  all  hunting  from  schooners.  There  is  no 
pr(>liibition  of  the  use  of  firearms  suggested,  for  two  reasons:  I-'irst, 
that  it  does  not  appear  to  be  particularly  injurious;  second,  because 
such  a  prohibition  could  not  be  enforced  without  working  great  hard- 
ship upon  the  natives.  Obviously,  if  forbidden  to  be  used  in  hunting 
otter,  the  carrying  of  firearms  by  hunting  parties  must  be  prohibited. 
To  deprive  these  native  hunting  parties  of  the  use  of  guns  to  kill  game 
while  out  on  the  long  hunts  of  several  months  would  indeed  be  a  serious 
hardship,  and  could  not  be  consistently  recommended. 

Under  present  conditions  the  sea  otter  is  becoming  extinct,  and,  as 
many  of  the  hunting  schooners  are  manned  by  white  hunters  from  San 
Frsincisco,  the  natives  are  receiving  only  a  i)art  of  the  benefit. 

Under  the  proposed  regulations  the  renfaiuing  otter  will  be  preserved 


14 


SEA-OTTER    BANKS   OP   ALASKA. 


for  the  use  of  the  natives,  and  they  being  compelled  to  hunt  from  the 
shore,  only  a  limited  number  will  be  taken,  and  the  herd  will  perhaps 
increase.  Unless  some  action  of  this  kind  is  taken,  in  a  very  few  years 
a  large  portion  of  the  Aleutian  Island  natives  must  be  taken  care  of  bv 
the  Government  or  starve. 

If  these  regulations  meet  the  approval  of  the  Department,  I  respect- 
fully recommend  that  they  be  adopted  and  promulgated  without  delay, 
m  order  that  the  hunting  schooners,  some  of  which  sail  about  Februarv 
each  year,  may  receive  due  notice. 

Appended  will  also  be  found  tabular  statements  giving  the  number 
of  sea  otter  taken  in  Alaskan  waters,  and  census  tables  of  the  inhabi- 
tants of  the  islands,  etc.
